Protein Bars - give me your suggestions!

[newbie99 4]

I like switching between Protein Bars and drinks. But Protein bars tend to give me gas. Does this happen to anyone else? And have you found a Protein Bar that doesn't have that effect?

medifast bars are 11 gp and only 110calories and they don't bother me

Not sure how far out you are but I have found the Kellogg's high fiber/protein bars just in the grocery store. They have 10 grams Protein, 7 grams fiber!! They are mostly nuts so I tend to have them as a snack and they are delicious!!

Quest bars seem to be the best for me. I like the Cinnamon Roll, Mixed fruit, and chocolate Brownie flavors.. Although the chocolate Brownie flavor makes me want a glass of milk! Haha. They are 20g Protein and 17g Fiber (and gluten free). Plus if you go to their site and email them asking for samples, they'll mail them to you for free

I don't tolerate the Protein drinks well for some reason so I mainly have to rely on the bars. As far as the gas goes I haven't had a problem.. Since I was sleeved Dec 6, I have trouble going to the bathroom lol, so the Fiber really helps me. I hope this was helpful!

Quest bars are good. I like think thin bars and pure Protein revolution bars. Pretty much my staple protein bars.

I prefer the Clif Bars. They are a great source of Protein and taste great.

Do you worry about all the carbs in the Protein bars?

I get the bars from Costco... they have a chocolate fudge and a Peanut Butter kind. They are yummy... no gas side effects.

Thanks guys! I appreciate your suggestions. I was mainly eating the premier bars. I have switched to a Detour bars. Problem solved! These do have more carbs but I only eat one a day.

I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for different kinds of Protein bars. I was told only whey protein isolate. I've found many kinds with whey protein but only a few with the whey protein isolate, Quest being one of them. Is everyone told the isolate only, or is it just depending on your doctor?

[giggles232000 56]

I was not told that

If nutritional value is on point, whey Protein won't matter vs isolate. Isolate is nutritionally better for you because it's derived from a more pure form, but whey is still good to go in my book as long as the values aren't crazy off.

Quest bars and Cliff bars were my go to bars before surgery and will be when I'm cleared for whole foods.
